Q: Legal Notice for Recovery of ₹55,000

“I lent ₹55,000 to my friend, but now he is not responding to my calls or messages asking for repayment. I have proof of sending the money (bank transfer/UPI records). Can I file a money recovery suit against him, and what is the process?”

Advocate Deepeeka Arora answered
Before filing of the recovery suit, it is recommended to send a Legal Notice to the person. Because issuing a Legal Notice is the mandatory requirement as per law. Also, there is a possibility that he either returns the money or agrees to return the said money in installments since the amount in question is less.

We should quickly serve them with a Legal Notice asking them to refund the amount in view of the Agreement in question. As you have already done the follow up from your side and they are just delaying things instead of adhering to their own Agreement.

Q: Termination on false ground and reason cited is performance

I worked in Bangalore for 6 months before being terminated for “performance,” though no formal appraisal or documentation exists. The reason seems baseless. They withheld 22.5% of my salary as a year-end bonus. Now that I’m terminated, can I still claim that amount? What are my options? Can I file a complaint with the CLC ([https://samadhan.labour.gov.in/Applicants/index](https://samadhan.labour.gov.in/Applicants/index)) or approach the Labour court

Advocate Deepeeka Arora answered
Firstly we can file we can give them a legal notice and there after we should try talking them through mediation and the last resort should be the labour Court because the labour Court process is is not that quick and the first and the foremost step while we go to any Court is serving of a legal notice so the first step should be serving of a legal notice and there after do some mediations and the final resort should be the court because Court proceedings usually take time right.

Q: can i able to recover the money

"Five years ago, I gave a sum of money to someone in cash as a personal loan. Unfortunately, I do not have any written proof, bank transaction, receipt, or acknowledgment of the amount given. There has been no repayment or communication from their side since then. I would like to know if there is any possible legal remedy to recover this money now, after five years, and if any alternate legal or traditional options are available to initiate recovery."

Advocate Deepeeka Arora answered
Yes certainly, we can try to recover money from the one to whom you have given five years ago. We can serve a Legal Notice to the person and can later do Mediation in the matte to get the recovery done.
